Seen puckering up for a tender kiss, Liz Hurley’s romance with Shane Warne is very much back on.

The couple could barely keep their hands off each other during a romantic break in Los Angeles last week.

And Liz, 45, later admitted to getting up to “monkey business” on the trip.

She and former Australia spin bowler Warne were thought to have split up within days of their affair becoming public last month.

Model Liz dumped Warne, 41, after finding out he had sent lewd sex texts to married businesswoman Adele Angeleri, 44, while he was also romancing her via Twitter.

He was said to be devastated that their relationship had ended so soon after news of it had leaked out. But from these pictures it seems Liz has decided to forgive and forget.

They kissed and made up over lunch at the five-star Casa Del Mar hotel in Santa Monica, a short drive from where they were believed to be staying in Beverly Hills.

Doing little to disguise their affection for one another, they smooched over lunch, on the streets and while sightseeing in a hired Range Rover.

A fellow hotel guest said: “They looked very taken with each other.

“They were stroking each other’s faces and were very tactile. It was quite sweet to watch and they seem to care for each other very much.

“They were very happy, like two teenagers.” Warne was later approached in first-class on his flight back to Sydney. When quizzed about his trip, he apparently grinned and said: “Yeah, I know, we’ve been busted.”

The emergence of these cosy pictures also makes more sense of the cryptic messages that Liz, who flew back to London on Friday, and Warne have been leaving on Twitter.

Tweeting about her LA jaunt, Liz wrote late last week: “I’ve been here on business... some of it monkey.”

And Warne, who was seen watching the one day game between England and Australia in Sydney yesterday, wrote on Twitter: “I was in LA last weekend. Had a great time and lots of fun. It’s a fun city.”

The couple met at Goodwood races last July. Their romance began last month when it emerged they had spent two nights in a London hotel.
